Holes 14a, 14b, 14c and 14d extending from one surface, that is, an open end surface 12a to an opposite end surface, are arranged in line in parallel with each other. Then, on inner surfaces of the holes 14a, 14b, 14c and 14d, inner conductors 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d are respectively formed and an outer conductor 18 is formed on the periphery of the dielectric block 12.

That is, the impedance Z1 and Z2 differs from each other in the odd mode. Whereas, in the even mode, the impedance Z1 and Z2 are equal irrespective of the presence of grooves.

  • FIG. 9 is an illustrative view showing an electrostatic capacity formed between the inner and outer conductors for explaining the embodiment of FIG. 8.
  • impedance Z of the resonance element constituted by the inner conductor 16a and outer conductors 18, is proportional to the sum of each electrostatic capacity as the previous Formula (10), and the impedance Z odd in the odd mode can be formulated by the following Formula (13) when the respective electrostatic capacities C1, C2 (FIG. 4), C2', C2" and C3 are taken into consideration. ##EQU5##
  • the even mode impedance Z even can be expressed by the following Formula (14), since the inner conductors 16a and 16b become equipotential and the electrostatic capacity C2 to be formed therebetween is not formed. ##EQU6##
  • the electrostatic capacity 2C2" in Formula (14) is smaller as compared with the original electrostatic capacity C2, since it is a residue of capacity C2 which has been dispersed and the part thereof being incorporated into the capacity C1.
  • the electrostatic capacity C2 in Formula (13) becomes smaller in the upper part with the notch, since depending on the presence of notch, the effective dielectric constant of medium acting thereupon changes.
